Amazing video... left me wishing for an icy lake. It captured the feel of the ice, the wind and the graceful speed. Thanks! Btw, my wife really enjoyed the music you put with it... who was the artist?

I agree the ice was crazy smooth. Let me know when the next race is. I want to do a sequel to the video.

@haggardphunk Thanks. Ugh so you didn't like the song. I thought the message fit. Do you have a song recommendation for an audio swap? Seems like it could take hours going through the acceptable songs that YouTube offers.

"Before today I thought a "hike" was what a center did when the quarterback yelled the word, or a long walk in the wilderness. But I experienced a HIKE today on an ice boat called Zephyr III with Bob Mereness at the helm. In this case a hike is when the boat edges up on two of the three runners. Ice boats can get up to 100 mph although today I think we were only going about 50, which was plenty fast for this newby! So I started by walking out on transparent ice, so see-through that I felt like I was walking on water. You could see fish swimming underneath. I was questioning my own sanity for just a second but then remembered I am committed to getting the shot "no matter what" so I charged on about a 1/4 mile into Lake Geneva with my Canon 5D Mark II with 1080p HD video built in. It turned out that a monopod and my 24-105 lens was the perfect combination for the video project. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed making it. Music by Secrets in Stereo.
